The Fire Yesterday Morning.

l )
| The fire yesterday morning in this town
which destroyed the fine two story dwell
ing house of Mr.. E. j. Sullivan, in the 9
ward, was tho most disastrous one ha,
here since the burning Of the Clamp gin
house, at tue mouth of Bayou Rapides
which occurred on the Sd Of Oct 1888
Later, on Sept. 7th, 1855, small tene
ment house, the property of Mrs. Bell
orsborn, was destroyed, since which tim,
our town has not suffered any loss from
fire until yesterday morning.
The fire was discovered ut about 1:l5.-
In less time than an hour afterwar,ls thu
only thing remaining of the commodiou.
dwelling was mass of ruins.
The origin ofthe fire is unknown, but
IS strongly believed to be the act of an in.
cendlary, having caught or started first
III the cistern house, where no fire was
used at all. The flames had almost envel.
oped the large building before the lire bell
rang. and to hear the frantic screams Of
females in the neighborhood, and to see
tho hnrrying to and fro of men crazed
with excitement; was terrible indeed.
Luckily the wind was blowing gently
from the southwest, or else the whole
upper portion of town might have been
destroyed, for water was scarce and every
house was parched so that lgnition would
have been immediate. OF the buildings
damaged near the burned one, being
scorched only, however, were Mrs. Os,
born's honses occupied by DR.. Radcliffe
and Mr. Rus. Rogers, and Louisa Simon's
residence.
The fire boys did good work, and among
those worthy of mention, and who fought
the flames to the end, was Mr.. Thomas
Kerrigan, of the Hook and Ladder Co.
and with him was Oliver Bassett. a color
ed barber, both of whom remained on the
roof of the residence of Louisa Simons a.
ter all others had left. Messrs. Ferguson
and DeSola, of the Pacific Company, also
did noble service ut the noslc.
number of strangers, whose names we
could not learn, also helped and assisted
with their might, and deserve recognition
and thanks.
The steam engine did good work when
it got under way, and was the means of
saving much property.
The loss to Mr.. Sullivan is very heavy
being fully $250O-the residence alone be-
ing worth that sum.
The gentlamen's friends, we know, syn-
pathize with him in his heavy loss, and
will render him and his family every pos
'ible assistance.
There was no insurance.
Hurrah for our fire boys, say we.
